at the annual meeting of the Lyon
County Medical society the following
committee report was adopted:
The members of the Lyon County
Medical society herewith record their
deep sense of the loss they have Suf-
fered by the death of. their late aSso-
ciate, DIR. William w. Hibben. DR..
Hibben was elected the first president
of the society at its organization ia
1882, and was reelected to that posi-
charged cha the i0 duties S of the
Office with fairness and ability.
His contributions TO the discussions
OF the society were always well con-
sidered and of value. In ali their re-
lations with DR.. Hihben the members
OF the Lyon County Medical society
found him an interesting companion
and worthy representative of Scien-
ti1c medicine; and, while they deplore
his untimely death, they felicitate
themselves that he lived long enough
to great amount of good in his pro-
fessiOn, and to leave behind him an
hon0red name.
The Lyon County Medical society ex-
tends to the family of the deceased its
heartfelt sympathy and coincidence.
And it is ordered that an engrosSed
copy of these resolutions of respect be
sent to the widow of our late associate,
and that these proceedings be spread on
the records of the society.

WHY WE BOON.

Many explanations have been given
for the wonderful progress now being
made in all portions of Kansas, but
the Mcpherson Freemen elucidates the
whole matter as follows:
The foundation for the boom that
has struck score or more of Kansas
towns, is the breaking of the iron agree
ment that stood for years between the
two Kansas roads, the U. z. and the
Santa Fe, and the great lines termina-
ting on eastern borders. The agree
ment was that the eastern lines
should not enter Kansas, and
the Kansas lines should not
build east. In addition to this
there was still another. between the
two roads in Kansas, that neither
should invade the territory of the
other. Under this double contract
Kansas was shut out from new and
competing lines. and while farms could
he made upon her rich .prairies, and
the state could develope agriculturally
the building of even a single city on
Kansas soil was rendered impractible.
Not city west from the Missouri river
could attain any other than local rate
TO and from Missouri river points, and
this very high rate which precludsd
all chances for jobbing business.
Kansas, a great big producing farm,

MANUFACTURER.

In view of the fact that it is asserted
that the interstate commerce law is
likely to prove disastrous to interior
shippers, either east or west, the subject
of manufactures becomes one i'll which
we are deeply interested, and one on
which we cannot learn any too much. On
this subject the Lawrence Tribune has
the following: Mr.. w. II. Pendleton,
of this city, who has heretofore been a
large shipper of neutrality-suspicious.
eggs-informs us that heretofore he
could ship eggs to California and save
reasonable margin for his trouble and
expense. Before the interstate law
went into effect rates OH eggs, for in
stance, from Lawrence to points
in California were S1.05 per hundred,
or, $40 per car. Now, under the new
law, rates are So per hundred, or 5000
perc ar, which entirely shuts him out.
This is only one item wherein the Kan
sas producer will greatly suffer from
this law other products, however, are
are we to do to save ourselves from
this ruin? There seems to be but one
road out of the trouble, to-wit: Since
we cannot send our products to a for
eign market and sell them at profit,
We must create a market at home by
encouraging and building up
home manufactures to consume
the products of our farms. The eggs,
the apples, the potatoes, the wheat and
other fruits and other vegetables and
grains which we have heretofore ship
ped long distances across the conti-
nent, to be eaten by the busy workers
in factories and machine shops, must
be eaten by busy workers in factories
and machine shops built upon our own
soil. What, then, is the duty of every
citizen of Lawrence? What is the du-
ty of every intelligent farmer and pro-
ducer in Douglas county, Plainly, it
is to encourage manufactures that en-
ploy skilled labor"

was without city, and was compelled
to make her purchases and sell her
products in q local market outside her
own borders. But with the breaking of
the agreement, new order Of things
dawned upon the state. Great trunk
lines from the commercial centers east
entered and reached the interior of the
state without passing through the
Kansas City toll gate. Shipments can
be made between central Kansas and
Chicago and st. Louis without rebill-
ing at the state line and on one rate.
This insures. the growth not only of
number of commercial centers of con-
siderable Importance, but in the build
ing up of such places other towns take
q new growth. Heretofore our devel-
opment has been restricted to an agri-
cultural growth, but with the new or
der Of things we are enabled to build
cities and towns, hence the reasen for
the present great town boom in Kansas,

THE queen has reigned oyer Great
Britain for fifty years. During that
time the growth of the country has
been enormous. The best proof of
this is that during the fifty years the
British taxpayer has handed over to
her majesty the sum of nineteen mil
lion, two hundred and fifty thousand
pounds. Multiply by five and you will
get rough estimate of the amount in
dollars. Her relations get also con-
siderably over one hundred and fifty
thousand pounds every year. And yet
poor people are asked and will be asked
in England and Wales to contribute
towards making personal present to
the queen. While most willing that
all due respect may be paid to her maj
esty, we are of decided opinion that
to do anything that will be giving the
queen money, or moneys worth, will
be like sending coal from Kansas to
Pennsylvania. What next? Is it TO
be wondered that such depression pre-

AN old war veteran, who had been
through half dozen campaigns, and
was not very particular about what he
ate, was invited out to a swell dinner
party, says the Detroit Free Press. He
sat almost directly opposite the hostess,
and was painfully conscious that every
move he made could he observed by
her. Suddenly, at the height of the
festivities, the veteran came across a
caterpillar in his salad. y furtive
glance at the hostess disclosed the fact
that she too had discovered the embar-
RAISING circumstance. 1t was a criti-
cal moment, but the old soldier was
equal to the occasion. Without chang
ing a muscle he gathered up the cater
pillar with fork full of salad and
swallowed both. The look of gratitude
which he received from his hostess. a
few minutes later, warmed the very
cookies of his heart. In due time the
story leaked out, and when somebody
asked the old campaigner how he liked
caterpillar salad. the reply came like
hot shot: do you take me for man
who would spoil dinner party for a
little thing like caterpillar
